Prince William and Miss Middleton Engagement

Prince William and Miss Middleton choose to support Berkshire carers

Berkshire Community Foundation is delighted with the announcement of a charitable gift fund established by Prince William and Miss Middleton. The couple has expressed their wish that anyone who would like to give them a wedding present instead donates to the newly set up website www.royalweddingcharityfund.org

Berkshire Community Foundation has been chosen to join 26 independent charities, based in the UK and abroad, who each undertake excellent work within specific communities. They are charities that have both a particular resonance and reflect issues in which the couple is interested in.

We are proud that Berkshire Community Foundation has been chosen by the couple to address the key objective of providing support for the growing numbers of carers in the county. All the monies received will enable groups to extend the support they provide in Berkshire to ensure that carers can live fulfilling lives.
